• AIR FORCE JUNIOR ROTC

    This program is open to all high school students grades 9 - 12 and is designed for cadets to learn the program in their first year, assist in teaching the program to new cadets in their second year, and manage and lead the program in their third and fourth years.  Course curriculum includes Aerospace Studies (Aviation History, The Science of Flight, Space Exploration and Cultural Studies) and Leadership Studies which is designed to help better prepare students for a successful life after high school and focuses heavily on team building and decision making and allowing the cadets to gain confidence and experience as a leader and grow as a student and person.  

    All cadets are required to wear the AFJROTC uniform once each week and comply with grooming standards while in uniform, adhere to behavior requirements and participate in physical fitness activities. Cadets may earn their required PE credit after two years of AFJROTC.
